DADDY NEEDS SOME WEB

I KNOW! I'm getting pretty annoyed, so I'll blame the loquacious love fest, which I'm sure broke Matt's servers. They simply can't handle all that shmoop.

No one is going to favorite my comment fable. =(

posted by Eideteker 16 February | 15:18

I just keep staring at this and pretending there's words.

posted by cortex 16 February | 15:18

There's a love fest for loquacious now?

MUST LOVE! LET ME IN!

posted by languagehat 16 February | 15:18

Oh lordy, I just revealed that I can never tell the difference between loquacious and languagehat.

posted by muddgirl 16 February | 15:20

How about we just create a MeTa thread dedicated to EVERY SINGLE USER on the site, and get all the love over with? Then we can go back to what MeTa is really for- callouts and bitching.

posted by initapplette 16 February | 15:22

I can tell the difference: languagehat never shows up to PDX meetups.

Prove me wrong, wouldya?

posted by cortex 16 February | 15:23

Oh, TPS, yer just pissed that you didn't get a shoutout in the song.

OH GOD IT'S BACk

WAY TO RUB IT IN, ASSHOLE

What's PDX?

posted by languagehat 16 February | 15:25

Twenty bucks, same as in town.

posted by cortex 16 February | 15:27

It's done again.

posted by drezdn 16 February | 15:28

That single slow load of Metatalk just made the cravings worse. Dammit, Matt!

And cortex, how much would it cost to get mentioned in your next song.

You can rhyme my username with phen phen, zen, len (don't steal my sunshine!), hen, or Dresden.

posted by drezdn 16 February | 15:30

Also when.

posted by drezdn 16 February | 15:31

ten
ben
ken
men
pen

Those will all work.

posted by drezdn 16 February | 15:32

I could fax you a list of suggested lyrics if you'd like.

MetaChat: Way to rub it in asshole

(and here I thought it was "apply directly to forehead")

posted by Eideteker 16 February | 15:33

A watched pot never boils. Perhaps if we stop clicking, Mefi will work again.

posted by ThePinkSuperhero 16 February | 15:39

I've eaten the cookie. I wanted to share but none of you care.

posted by danostuporstar 16 February | 15:39

pssst, ask is working now, but slowww. So is "recent comments"

posted by muddgirl 16 February | 15:42

Maybe we should work out a reload rotation.

Here, everyone else wait, I'll go first.

posted by drezdn 16 February | 15:44

also, I tried to write a limerick that ended with "...[some-thing] the bombing of drezdn", but I've obviously failed.

PDX = Portland, OR

frecklet
necklet
becklet
hecklet
gecklet

Hmm. Maybe not.

PDX

posted by pieisexactlythree 16 February | 15:58

Strained rhymes could make it work.

"If she were some stand-up
I'd dare not heckle't;
If she were complexion
The sun'd daren't freckle't;
If she were Beck's dinner
No better food Beck'll've et.
Don't let her hustle pool:
Bet not 'gainst Specklet."

posted by cortex 16 February | 16:02

Loquacious love fest? Where?

posted by matildaben 16 February | 16:02

I bet if you really stretched you could rhyme "Specklet" with "reckless".

posted by cmonkey 16 February | 16:11

You guys have your meetups at the airport?

posted by Eideteker 16 February | 16:16

The body cavity search makes for a fun icebreaker, Eid.

posted by cortex 16 February | 16:17

Portland is actually one big airport. We all have flying scooters and reflective tape.

posted by cmonkey 16 February | 16:17

Ahhhh, all you newbs with your loq-love. I've been loving the loq since e2, yo!

Hmmm, the e2 servers are famously quirky, too. IS THERE A LOVE CONNECTION??????????????????!!1

Until we all get it in the neck,
Let
Us sing the praises of Speck
-let.

Until we all die and go to heck,
Let
Us sing the praises of Speck
-let.

Until we all drown deep in the dreck,
Let
Us sing the praises of Speck
-let.

And until we all go slack and lose affect,
Let
Us sing the praises of Speck
-let!

*is always up for a loquacious lovefest*

God, I'm so glad when someone else notices and posts about mefi being down. It always makes me feel like a pathetic loser when I do it, like how I sit there, hitting f5 and watching the little wheely arrow roll around and around to no effect, while the monkey claws my back a little harder.

Not, uh, that you're an addict or anything cortex.

Hrmm..wha? Dyou...uh...say? Somethn?

Hee, thanks for the rhymes, guys!

posted by Specklet 16 February | 17:22

I was going to steal your cookie, dano, but, uh, never mind.

posted by deborah 16 February | 22:30

You can't make a song about me. I don't rhyme with anything.

posted by SassHat 16 February | 23:00

MeFi almost always inevitably suffers from freakish downtime on the days when I make a pretty decent FPP. Like today. And that sucks.
